SUMMARY:"How are you doing\, Quinten?"
DESCRIPTION:The last 24 days of 2024\, I\, Quinten Voordeckers\, am challenging myself in a way I’ve never done before… \nI am so curious about how life would be without devices such as our smartphones\, our laptops\, our tablets and TVs that I have decided to find out for myself 🙂 \nSo starting from Sunday 8 December and ending on the 1st of January 2025\, I’ll go through life without a smartphone\, without a laptop or any other kind of computer\, no TV\, no gaming consoles\, no smart watches. \nJust the analog life. \nFocused on real life conversation and exploring new things. \nI’m scared as hell to be honest. \nBut I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from this adventure. \nDuring this evening I’ll be in room A15 in Romaanse Poort Leuven. So if you’re interested in having a chat about digital minimalism\, the Curious Bird Project\, the challenge I’m doing or anything else\, just come! \nIt’s completely free and open to join for everyone. \nJust don’t forget to ask me: “How are you doing\, Quinten?” \n🙂

SUMMARY:[U&U] Wave 2 - TAKEOFF
DESCRIPTION:THE PRICE INCLUDES all 3 EVENTS of the challenge! \nThe Unplug & Unfold Challenge is a 28-day journey to a life beyond screens. \nOn Wednesday\, the 30th of October\, the second wave will start! \nIt is not your average digital detox in which you waste as much time on your screen right after as before. No\, it is designed to change your relationship with addictive technologies completely. \nIt consists of 3 in-person meet-ups over 28 days: \n\nTAKEOFF (Wednesday 30th of October\, 19-22h)\nEXPLORE & CONNECT (Wednesday 13th of November\, 19-22h)\nRE-INTEGRATE (Wednesday 27th of November\, 19-22h)\n\nThe TAKEOFF event signals the start of the challenge. You get to know the other wave-members who dare to take this step. You decide for yourself how far you want to go with the unplugging. From that moment on\, we help each other and keep each other accountable. \nDuring the EXPLORE & CONNECT event\, we share our experiences about the first 2 unplugged weeks and ask “How can we help each other?”. After one hour exclusive for wave-members\, the event becomes open and free for everyone to join! We will explore together all the things screen-free things we can do with our freed-up time. Think of reading books\, talking to strangers\, playing board games\, learning an instrument\, knitting\, drawing\,… \nThe last event is the RE-INTEGRATE event. It’s called like that because it is not the end. It is a new beginning. The beginning of a story that unfolds primarily in real life. During this event\, we look back at the 28 days and have a fresh perspective on what is important to us and make the changes we have to make. \n  \nWhat’s included?\nThis investment in yourself comes with a 50 euro commitment (see discounts beneath). \nWhat do you get for that in return? \n\n3 in-person meet-ups\ndrinks during these meet-ups\nprinted “course material”\nsmall daily challenges\nan accountability partner\nbenefits you’ll get from spending less time on your screens\na few surprises 😉\n\n\nDiscounts\nFor joining the second wave there is still an early bird discount: \n“Wave #2”: 40 euros instead of 50 euros (20%) \n“Wave #3 and after”: 50 euros \nThere is also a bring a friend discount of 8 euros per person. So if you for example sign up with a friend for Wave #2 it means it’s just 32 euro’s for each one of you! \nPS If you’re interested\, but can’t afford it\, you can ask someone (parents\, boyfriend/girlfriend\,…) to gift it to you. If that doesn’t work\, let me know by contacting me. I might have a solution for you (see below). \nPPS If you would love to financially support someone by gifting them the Unplug & Unfold Challenge\, you can subscribe to the newsletter as a Founding Member. For every 50 euros you pledge\, 1 person can take on the Unplug & Unfold Challenge without having to pay. As an exchange\, I’ll keep you updated about the stories that unfold through the Unplug & Unfold Challenge.

Our goal is to make these conversations as easy and meaningful as possible. \nCurious?
